10 Data Journalists to Follow on Tableau Public

I've enjoyed keeping up with the latest work of my favorite Tableau Public authors using the Activity View that we launched along with the Follow feature last November. I start my morning with a cup of coffee and a glance at the latest publications of the authors I follow. It's a great way to see what's going on, and the Tableau Public team has even found a number of Viz of the Day winners that way.

Since this month is Data Journalism Month on the Tableau Public blog, I thought I'd share with you ten different profile pages of journalists or news organizations that I follow. If you already have a Tableau Public account, just sign in, click on the links to each profile below, and then click "Follow".

If you don't have your own account, you can create one for free to being creating your own custom data viz feed.

Note that the ten profiles come from ten different countries. Data journalism is on the rise all around the world.
